AT A GLANCE

-

LOOKAHEAD TO SUNDAY

Rafael Nadal is a 12-time champion at Roland Garros, and Dominic Thiem was the runner-up to the King of Clay each of the past two years in Paris. Still, neither can boast what their fourth-round opponents Sunday can: unbeaten career records at the French Open. No. 1seed Nadal is close, though, with a 96-2career mark at the Grand

Slam tournament. He will face Sebastian Korda at Court Philippe Chatrier, where U.S. Open champion Thiem plays Hugo Gaston of France. Korda and Gaston are both 20, both ranked outside of the Top 200and both making their first appearance­s at the French Open, so they’re both 3-0 at the place. Another man making his tournament debut,

19-year-old Jannik Sinner, takes on U.S. Open runnerup Alexander Zverev over at Court Suzanne Lenglen. Women’s fourth-round matchups include No. 1seed Simona Halep against 19-year-old Iga Swiatek of Poland, No. 3Elina Svitolina against Caroline Garcia of France, and No. 5Kiki Bertens against Martina Trevisan of Italy.
